Spacewar is a group power that allows you to compete with others by destroying the other player's planets. Click on the black squares, and if a moon is revealed, that means a planet is close. If someone destroys your planet, you will be unable to play for the rest of the game.

Playing

You don't need the power to play. You can find chats playing Spacewar at xat's Groups page (then click Games) or you can go to Game chat room if you want more details and more games.

To play, simply click around the grid until you find a moon tile. One moon means there's one planet in a surrounding tile; two moons means there are two planets, etc. Click the surrounding tiles until you spot a "dead" smiley (meaning you destroyed their planet!) If you click a grid and it's simply black, then there's no planet in the surrounding tiles.

All users can see the tiles you select. If you see moons you have to be quick!

Use

To use the SpaceWar power, first get it from Trade chat, then click Games at the left, then click SpaceWar. Type (SpaceWar) in your chat and assign the power. Once the power has been assigned, click "Edit your Chat", then select "Extra Features", scroll down to "spacewar" tickbox and check it, and then click "Update these options" button to activate the power.

You can then use the !bot command to start the bot and then use the !start command so everyone begins playing. When the game is over, players are placed by how many planets they destroyed or last man standing (depends on which option is set).

Commands

The power is required to use any of the commands. You are required to be on the application to use the commands as well.

!help - The bot will private message you with all the available commands.

!times play level results (e.g. !times 60 5 30). This sets the maximum time allowed to finish the level, the level that you are playing on, and the amount of time the results are shown.

!start - This command will start the game.

!next - This command will go to the next action, e.g. from playing to results, or results to playing.

!skip - This command will restart the game.

!prize - Read the Prizes section below for more information on this command.

!banloser - This will allow you to start banning the loser (user with the lowest height) depending on how many people are in the chat. Type !banloser 20 to set it to ban users after 20 people are in the chat. To remove, type !banloser 0. You can view what it is set to by typing !banloser.

!score - If you type !score on it will display high scores from your chat only. Type !score off to turn it off.

!exit/!bye - This command will make the bot exit the chat.

Prizes

You can add prizes to the bot by transferring xats.

Type !prize 10 xats to use a 10 xats prize for the winner of the game. You can change it to !prize 50 xats, or !prize 1 day for days, etc.

All games started after this will offer the prize you selected, until the prize fund is empty.

Note: The bot should store your prize for 24 hours; however, this is not guaranteed. Do not transfer large amounts of xats/days to the bot otherwise you could lose them.

You can view what the prize is set to and how much the prize fund contains by typing !prize
